hi jlet - help will fix it eventually. as in i have to keep pressing help, "is the TV on HDMI 1" - "No" and it will move it across to the next input which is not HDMI 1, so i keep saying no and eventually we get there.
and yes it is only on cold start, starting back into HDMI after shutting down from HDMI is no problem. same goes for "Antenna" shut down from "Antenna" and start back into "Antenna" no problem.
